Data Sheet
Doc. Ref. 21A/523D

Description
System 523D Vinyl Ester
Archco-Rigidon system 523D is a 2 component heavy- Operating Temperature Range -20°C to +85°C (immersed)
duty trowel applied lining. It is formulated from a Vinyl Ester Application Method Trowel only
resin reinforced with 3.0mm glassflakes. The lining dry film
thickness is nominally 2.0mm. Further coats can be applied Surface Preparation Gritblast to Sa2½ min
should the specifying authority require additional coverage. Colour Off white
